Mr. Egan, general superintendent of the Canadian Pacific, has just returned from the end of that road iv the Rocky Mountains. :\s it was desirable for General Manager Van Home, of the same road, who was iv Mon treal to see him, and as it was not conveni ent for the general manager to go to Winni peg, both came to St. Paul, where they held a conference on Monday, which was wholly private, so far as the general public is con cerned. A subsequent conversation with both gentlemen iudicated that this confer ence was in regard to the progress of the mad westward over the Rockies, the nature of the country through which it runs and eueh other matters as would naturally suggest themselves. A Talk with Mr. Egan. Mr. Egan, who has often been in St. Paul, was very pleasant and agreeable, and spoke very freely of the road and its prospects. He sold that construction was going on very favorably indeed, notwithstanding the recent ruins which caused some delay. The work in the mountains, is very difficult but it is being overcome in a very satisfactory man ner. The road wants more men and will give employment to 600 immediately. The train that Mr. Egan came dowu in went to the end of the track, five and one-half miles west of the summit, where a permanent bridge across the Kicking Horse is being constructed. When Mr. Egan was there they expected to have the bridge com pleted by Sunday last when the track would be laid to the flret tunnel which is at the foot of Mount Stephen. This will be finished in two weeks and then the track will be graded to the crossing of the Otter Tail, which is about twenty miles further west. The track to Otter Toll will be laid by August 10. It is not possible to say at this time how far the road will be finished west of tiie Columbia river thia year, as that will depend entirely ■ ason. Mr. Egan says that west of the summit, flown to the Kicking Horse valley, there is my quantity of splendid timber, and that ;■- have erected a large baw mill .: the Kicking Horse lake for the use of the contractors wesi of that point. There is also v mill for the manufacture of nitro-glycer ine, dynamite and other explosives on the west end of the lake. All tne streams in this section of the country have been very high this season, some say five feet higher than usual. Mr. Egan speaks in the highest terms of quality of the land and the appearance of the soil be tween the Moose Jaw and the mountains. Thi soil h'. says is very rich and well watered, while the scenery is magnificent Hail Notes. The St. Paul Base Ball club left last night for Milwaukee over the Royal route. E. S.

THE TANGLED WEBB. Mrs. Dusek's Griefs, Gentle Annie's Sorrows, all Along of the Bad ness of Mr. Dusek— A Few Other Offenders Dealt With. Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When we first practice to deceive. There was the same hungry, unkempt, j dirty looking crowd in the police court yes terday, when hizzoner clambered to the perch as has beeu described so many times in these veracious chronicles, and if-, seemed | almost a draw between occupants of the bull j pen and the audience. Among the first j sinners to be hauled over the rejuvenating I coals of retributive justice, was a comely German damsel named Annie Bamblana. The clerk murmured "when the spring time comes gentle Annie," as the case was called and the audience craned its neck to take in the fun. Last Sunday Mrs. Dusek caught her husband and Annie m the latter's apartment under veiy aggrevating circumstances and being an eminently sensible and strong minded woman, Mrs. Dusek had her hus band arrested, the agile Annie having been too quick for her and skipped out. Dusek was arraigned on Monday and fined $25 or thirty days. The same night the two women ran across each other and Mrs. Dusek was attacked by the virago and whipped. She was arrested, for this and yesterday Mrs. Duesk had the satisfaction of seeing her go to the bastile for thirty days. The case of C. Farrell Is one* that belittles the cause of human nature generally, and- I the less said about it the better. He was | charged with sodomy and the hearing was j continued until to-day. Chas. Tripler was arraigned on the charge j of assault with a dangerous weapon. He does not speak English, and owing to a mis understanding he was committed to the grand i jury. He had a fuss with Ernest Walter and | happened to scratch the latter on the leg with j the dull edge of a hatchet. Walter waa not hurt, and it is thought the case will be' changed to assault. 0 Phillip Cuck and Joseph Grushot did not want the earth but they tried their best to get away with a shanty located in the Bohemian settlement. They pounded it with rocks be cause the occupants would not let them in. Yesterday the little matinee cost them twenty laree bills apiece. Win. -Murnanc got on a toot Monday night and in the freedom of his booze he offered a forged check for $275 signed by a Mr. Thompson. Officer Zirkelbach ran him in and he will not snuff the air of freedom again for thirty days. G. P. Richard was arraigned on the serious charge of forgery. Last Monday he pre sented a forged check for §75 at Rouleau's boarding house in payment of a bill, the check not being ijprth the paper it was written on. The name of P. H. Kelly was forged, and the paper was made payable to Joseph Rouleau. Officer Finn run him in, and yesterday he pleaded guilty, being held I to the irrand iurv. The case of Mrs. Iger, charged with steal ing wood, was continued until to-day, and the case Ed. Ricker, charged with reckless driving, was disposed of in the same man ner. AMUSEMENTS, Continued Success of "Lady Clare" at the Grand— Concert at White Hear Lake. The drama of "Lady Clare" was presented for the second time by the Wallack company at the Grand, last night, to a fashionable and very appreciative audience. In point of numbers the attendance was better thau on the opening night, and the performance was I marked by the artistic finish and dramatic i power which constituted the ad mirable features of that occasion. Indeed, the repose and harmony of the drama is such that one canuot appreciate the quiet beauties of- the plot and action at a Kingly sitting, and it therefore improves the more frequently it is seen. The cast, as said before in these columns, is in the keep ing of admirable actors, and the honors are In no wise monopolized by Mrs. Eyre and Mr. Tearle, no matter how con sommate these artists may be conceded tobe. On the whole "Lady Clare*' is a deeply in* teresting drama of the society or domestic tort sin (l by the present company it ia ac corded an ezqttisite interpretation. The same drama will be given again to-night, and to-morrow evening "Moths," an adap tation from Ouida's splendid novel of that name, will be given. Conoeri at wmte Hear Lake. The third concert of the series under the nirection of Will Dorgan at Hotel Cbateaa •r.iy. White Hear Lake, will take place at SAW o'clock this evening.

This ancient and honored body recovered | consciousness sufficient a week or two ago, after laying for years in a comatose state, to forward to the council a recommendation of ! the health officer Dr. Hoyt to print notices in | the German and Scandinavian languages to j tell the Swedes and Germans how to cleanse j and disenfect their premise*. The council — i only nine being present refused to honor the draft on their intelligence and public j spirit so no noticed are *to be • '. sent.

" Now would it not be \ well for the , council at it» next meeting It) abolish this j boartlof health, which is no given to extrav- j seance as to think the health of the city worth $30.

A Mnltitnde of Small Talk, but the Pay Roll Passed 0. X- The fire commissioners held a long meet ing last evening and talked over a great variety of matters. They transacted a good deal of business, but most of it was not of general interest. They considered for a long time the matter of purchasing a toam of horses that were said to weigh 2,650 [wunds, with harness, for $000. The members of the board thought the price was too lanre, and besides they seemed U) think that the horses were too light. The final conclusion was that the chief should be authorized to offer the owner §550. and $250 for another horse he has for sale, and if he will take that to Close -for the three. The new hose carriage was accepted. Tho chief is to have a water pipe arranged in the front part of central fire hall for the purpose of washing out. The same officer was authorized to get a set of harness and a single harness for No. 1. The chief is to have the stalro changed in j the horses to come out nnd go in. The pay roll for the month amounting to 3fi.745.29 was adopted and sent to the comp troller. The doctors' bills for George De Corsey, who was injured while in the service of the department, amounting to s47, were adopted by the board and sent to the comptroller. Bids for hay were received as follows: It. C. Boylan, Hamilton station, $12 per ton ; (iriggs Bro. $10.75; McNamee & Kei^her $x.95. The members, after talking the mat ter over, concluded to reject all the bids and re-advertise, inasmuch as some of the bids were for baled hay. The hay that is wanted is loose hay. Bids for coal were also opened, aud gome and some merriment was caused by the j closeness of the bids, there being but two j cents difference. Only three bids were re- I reived, notwithstanding the chief sent J a personal note to right or j ten or more dealers requesting bids. Only two of them responded. Some of the mem bers stated that it looked like a combination to keep down the price, and all agreed that the case has been correctly measured. The bids are as follows: Ohio Coal and Barge; nutt, $B.77 T Mansfield lump. *7.52. North western Fuel company, eeg and crat*, ?*vso; stnve. ?S.7J: Mansfield lump, $7.50. After talking over the bids fora while it was. on motion of Mr. Prendergast, decided to irve the contract to the Northwestern Fuel com pany, after which the board adjourned. State Normal School. The State Normal school, located at Winona, Minn., has ju«t issued its catalogue for the yr-ar l*<i4-*5.

The Scotland Citizen now claims that there will be 700,000 bushels of flax marketed at that point the coming season, instead of 400,000 as at first stated . : : ■■■'- • \ The secret temperance order of I. O. G. T. is being revived in Dakota. Lodges with large membership have lately been organized in Fargo, Vermillion and other points. Col. Donan made another start for New York Monday night in response to a call to interview, the national committee. -As he was raised in the south, it is desired that he shall visit that section and fly his eagle with political wiugs. Heavy storms are very frequent of late in south Dakota, and those who have wheat are always extremely nervous for fear of hail. It is probable that a million dollars will not cover the damage in all sections of Dakota the month past from hail and lightning. The Hand county Press says of the recent hailstorm in that section : It is not known at present how far northwest the storm ex tended, but it cut a mighty swath nearly to tbe lowa line, and it is no immoderate guess that $500,000 worth of damage was done. Among the more recent candidates for congress named in north Dakota at Marshal, Harrison Allen and Hon. Waldo M. Potter, the latter of McHenry county. They do not claim to be seeking the nomination, but their rods will easily spring up if there are any symptoms of lightning about. There was a large turn out and quite a dis play of enthusiasm at the ratification at Chamberlain. The Democrat says : The rat ification was a success in every sense of the word, and demonstrates beyond all question that, even here In Republican Dakota, Cleve land, Hendricks and reform have many warm supporters who feel a deep interest in the result of the great political battle that Is to be fought next November. Helena HerM: General Harris, who has just returned, says there are about 2,000 people in the park, and that the arrange ments to accommodate tourists are better than last year. The fare at the hotel is $5 per day, and the cost of the tour, embracing geyser basin, lake and great falls, is $26, not including meals and lodging. The business is managed by a receiver of the National Park Improvement Co., and there is talk of the Northern Pacific buying out the com pany. One S. P. Stair, a contractor, slipped away quietly from the town of Carlton, in Clark, with $1,000 belonging to the 'school town ship. The money was advanced to him to pay for the lumber for a school house he was to build. He went to Redfield and had his check cashed at the bank and registered at the hotel by the name of Smith. This fact caused his arrest on suspicion, but as the check was good he was released, and it is supposed he is now "blowing in" the $1,000 at St. Paul. Gov. Ordway has industriously sought to relieve his successor of as much trouble as possible in the way of organizing new coun ties. Among the most recent appointments of commissioners are those of McHenry county: O. M. Towner, E. Hackett and Marlon Pace. This Is said to be a good stock region, but has not been supposed to have nnv settlers. Towner recently organized another county and gave it his name. It is regarded as a profitable industry, organizing new counties. The Huron Times learns from an agent of the Northwestern railroad that the road is counting upon the shipment of 15,000.000 bushels of wheat over its Dakota division of ()00 miles. The section takes in the great Sioux Valley, and rich farms between Tracy itnd Pierre, as well a» between Columbia and Hawarden including the Clark Center exten sion. To transport this enormous amount of grain will require something like 37,500 cars ai-d will furnish the division all the busi ness it can trausact during the fall, winter and spring. Residents of Tower City estimate the acre age of wheat destroyed or seriously damaged in that vlcinty at ten thousand. Quite a num ber of the losers have nothing left to go on till the next crop, nnd a meeting has been called for this evening to aid the suuVrero. The majority of the fanners in that section Were not injured and they propose to put into a pool 08 many acres as they can can afford to be divided among the less for tunate. There are some of the largest losers like Ellsbury, with GOO acres, who can easily stand tho loss. The Bathgate Saiti'nd records the progress of the Manitoba extension: The new road that Is being built north and south through Larimore, is being pushed as fast as the track layers can put on Iron. It Is now graded forty miles north from Larimore. and the iron is laid about twenty miles. The j new town ai .uctanna s is aireauy uooming, . i and is surveyed and platted and lots will be on the market in a few days. Orr the next station north, will follow suit and before harvest Jthe western part of Grand Forks county will have the three or four booming young villages on the new line of road. Col. Donan met the G. A. It. excursion ists on his way cast, and retraced his steps in order to escort them over his familiar stamping grounds at Devil's lake. He chap eroned them all over that picturesque region, showed them his pleasant and fertile estate, and crossed the lake with them to Fort Tot ten, where the officers extended every honor to the distinguished guests. They returned Monday morning and expressed themselves charmed with the country which lie 9 so pret tily along the beautiful lakes, and delighted with the people and prospects of that region. Quite a number of the party remained there to look for opportunities for Investment. The returning excursionists had hardly left Devils Lake city when the disastrous fire occurred, destroying the tine hotel and much of the town. This is specially untimely, as there are no accommodations there now for th.. thmnir t.t viaitcrc P.llt thpn- ia cMii.mv enough to rebuild very soon. V v V; The Brooking* Murrtrr. I As "Boston" hasbeen captured it is probable ! that Brookingj county will have a hanging j bee, either by the sheriff or the officer* of Judge Lynch. The Prexs gives these details jof the murtlcr: "On Friday evening last | a dance was held at Elkton and among those in attendance was James Griffin, a resident sof that place. While there be had i some words with Tho«. Dalton, Jr., and the quarrel ran high but was finally stopped by outsiders. Dalton had come to town with a rmiirh called "Boston" whose, real name is thought to be Henderson; and who was etoployed on the grade, and a man named Sheldon, a timekeeper employed by Kilpatrick Bros. The three men came in In a single seated buggy with one horse. After the dispute with Dal ton, Griffin, who I bad been drinking, but is said to have been peaceable/ left "the dance and went to ' Boncsteel's saloon where be met "Boston," who took up l>altr.n"s quarrel, and another row started, which ended in "Boston" being i put oat of . the saloon . .He then rned , drew a revolver and fired at Griffin through : the glass in ' the door, the bullet passing through the body very close to the be'art, killing Dim' instantly, after which "Boston" stepped inside and struck him la the face with bis revolver, as be ' lay :on the floor. He then escaped duriDg the excitement : and be and bis companions took their rig : and left; The officers were soon In pursuit of the party, but owing to numerous friends among I tne different caiaps of graders he was ; kept hid and the officers were unable to find any ■ trace of him until he was gone. It is said that he was kept hid until Sunday morning, when Sheldon gave him a horse and helped him to escape. This, if proven; should give Mr. Sheldon a chance to do our territory about ten yeare' service at Sioux Falls. The dispatches state that he was arrested at Pierre and returned. A good deal of ex cited feeling has arisen over the matter. Southern liakotn Vronpe.rU)i. The Sioux Falls Leader gives these instances of farmers who have prospered in south Dakota: In 1304 Charles N. Taylor came from central New York and settled in Meek ling, Clay county, Dakota. At that time his wordly effects were of the value of $1,000. He came with his family and a colony from Syracuse, most of whom, sooner or latter, became discontented and left. Mr. Taylor, however, bought 160 acres of land for a few huudred dollars, and commenced farming with a determination to make Dakota hts home. To-day he is worth $55,000, in the opinion of his neighbors who are in a situ ation to know. He told the writer last week he had accumulated since he had been in the territory $40,000, although in the 1881 over flow lie had lost *10,000 worth of stock. Mr. Taylor Is worth in all probability worth fully $55,000, as he has a large amount of land worth twenty dollars an acre that he does not count at over five dollars, having cost him not over three dollars per acre. Charles La Breeche, auother farmer, who came to Dakota from Dubuque county, lowa, at about the same time with about $1,000, and settled near Jefferson, Union county, has acquired, strictly by farming, a fortune of f 28, 000. Peter Petterson and Duncan Ross, who also settled in Union county about twenty years ago with nothiug, have to-day farms and stock worth $20,000 each. Mr. B. Collar, near Vermillion, Clay county, Dakota, came to the territory about 1802, and report says when he crossed the Sioux river into Dakota he paid out the last quarter of a dollar he possessed for ferriage, having a span of horses, wagon, plow, and one cow; now he is rated among the $50,000 class of capital ists. Trouble Ahead. Parties engaged in this scheme spoken of by the Pierre Press will be likely to getj into trouble with the government: '^ An anonymous writer in the Canning News gives the startling ne.vs that an organized movement is on foot for the purpose of driv ing the Indians off the Wiunpbago reserva tion and taking possession of it. The writer argues that this reservation is not and never was a part of the Sioux reservation, and that the Sioux have no right to it. He further states that a secret organization has been formed at Chamberlain, Kimball and other points south of the reservation who propose to fully arm themselves and storm that country, driving the Indians across the river, and take possession of the land. He calls for recruits from Pierre, Canning, Blunt and Harrold to assist in the move ment. In commenting on the letter, the JVeicn intimates that the movement is genu ine, and that it will receive a vast amount of sympathy. The Free J'ress knows nothing further about the matter than what is above stated, but knows there are many precedents for such a course. Tn fact the history of our country is full of such precedents, and while we do not pretend to justify them, mere are reasons wuy uiey are, m a. meas ure justifiable. As a nation we are com pelled to support the Indians as vagrants, and also compelled to give them much of our valuable laud on which to idle away their useless lives. A Dakota Camp Jleefiitff. The first camp meeting ever held in the extreme north of Dakota is spoken of by the Emerson International in this: A genuine old-fashioned Methodist camp meeting has been in progress 3inee Friday last in a grove on the banks of the Tongue river, near Car lisle postofflce, Dakota, about fifteen miles southwest of Emerson. Presiding Elder Hare, of Fargo, find quite a nutnberof min isters are in attendance. Rev. Mr. Kerfoot. of Bathgate, has charge. Last Sunday quite a number of people from Emerson drove out to attend the afternoon service. It was eetl mated that over 1,000 people were present. Quite a number of people arc camped on the ground. The location is a picturesque one, the forest being dense and composed chiefly of large and towering oak trees. Watertoipn'.s Prospects. Watertown is basing large anticipations upon its new railroads. The nuron Time* learns that the Rock Island road is grading from Sioux City to Watcrtown and also from Minneapolis to Watertown. The two lines will converge at Watertown where a hand some depot will be built. The company's grounds include twelve acres, donated by the citizens, on which it is expected that repair shops will be erected. These lines will give Watertown direct .communication with a water route at Sioux City and at Minneapolis with Duluth. There are nearly one hundred new dwellings being erected 'at Watertown and town property lias "jumped up to very high prices. q A Model Farm. A. J. Allen & Co. have the model farm in Bower county, of which the Aberdeen l'i<>u« r says: The farm contains 1,900 acres of fine land, nearly all under cultivation, as follows: One thousand acres of as fine wheat as wrs ever seen, one hundred acrrs of splendid oats, sixty acres of barley and sixty-two acres of corn. There arc altogether fifty-five acres of growing forest trees on the farm. Mr. Allen says he cultivates these trees just the snrne as he does his corn, going through the whole fifty-five acres once each week during the spring, up to the middle of July, when he ceases to cultivate for the season. A Jinnm for Col. Haiimi. Dkvii/s Lakk, D. T., July IJO, 1884. To the Editor of the QloM. If you will permit a private citizen to air his opinions through the medium of your columns I would like to humbly oiler to the public my views on the Dakota delegatenhip. From all I can learn, the appointment of delegates recently made by the territorial central committee of the Republican party surely and finally killed Delegate Reynolds' chances of being his own successor, and I am confident that the people at large rejoice in the positive knowledge of this fact,. They rejoice in Mr. Reynolds' downfall because this, the only work he ha 3 done in congress, j has been, not for toe general public good of his constituents, but for the purpose of creating for himself an influence, which he has not brains and tact sufficient to have ever acquired as simply a bonanza .farmer, but which he has gained solely by the distri bution of federal patronage, of which the j merest accident for a time gave him eon- ; j trol. This statement is clearly demonstrated j by the fact naked, undisguised, disastrous fact that his only snnnort is now drawn i from a few postmasters, editors ami one or two alleged political r\\\'Zi with wbleh it is known be lia-j trained, since the Dakota con greaslonal cbair has been occupied by the present, the greatest of all ith r< preaentative ; ii' ri' n titles. I presume the requisite qualifications of as j pirauts must be something more than undis-> j puted ability and undoubted Integrity; but i in order to fret the nomination, In; must be J one who is neither identified with nor an ; tagonistic to ar.y clique, ring or faction, or i in other words the nominee will be the re ; Milt of some combination and a man must I be found upon whom the different elements i can Unite with but small concessions and I some degree of enthusiasm. I know of but • one prominent citizen who possesses > this requisite, together with the other necessary attributes with which Raymond* heir pros pective must be endowed. Then, allow me to suggest a name, In the contemplation of whose success no- bitter feelings will be engendered and will cause every heart to beat with a just pride, a man of towering ability, of the strictest honor and integrity, an orators master of ' persua sive eloquence, convincing logic and. one of the most fascinating weavers of, English j words. He is one who can be claimed by no par ticular locality, but reflect 1 honor upon the I whole territory; Ihe ha* spoken in clarion J tones of the vast wealth which lav bidden in ] the gold-ribbed Black Hills region ; through j his, instrumentality stockmen have learned i of the nutritious grasses' that cover limitless 1 tract* of laud in western . and southern ' Dakota; agriculturalists everywhere have felt grateful to him for directing their attention to the varied and unlimited resources of mid dle and south Dakota, and through him the world has learned and been astounded at the marvelous fertility of the northern wheat belt. Tens of thousands of citizens have been added to the population of our grandest of all the territories as the direct result of his labors— coining from all the states in the Union, from Canada, Australia and from every European country. Such being the case, I believe it would be wise and just for political leaders to aid the people in nominating and electing the most widely known ana popular man in Dakota, Col. P. Donan. This is a way it looks to A Max Ui> a Tuee. Huron, Dakota. | Special Correspondence to tho Globe.] Hukox, July 20. — A brace of elders are at present giving a series of discourses in a tent which they have erected just north of the First National bank building. They are seeking to promulgate the doctrine of the "Second Advent." but the rain v weather hn« interfered somewhat with the meetings. Their tent is roomy and convenient and thej have a small tent for private use and sleep on the field. The recent storms have done considerable damage to the crops, but if the weather ia favorable for a few days longer the crop of small grain will be harvested. A telegram has been received here an nouncing the death of A. (i. Harris, at Springfield, 111. Mr. Harris was a prominent attorney of Huron. lie formerly resided ;;t Decatur, HI., from which place he came to this city, about a year ago. He succeeded in building up a good practice and was on the road to success, until a month ago when he was taken down with a complicated trouble of the liver. He was taken to Springfield a week ago in hopes that a chnnge would ben eh' t him, but the disorder had taken fast hold of him and he died Thursday evening. Mr. Harris was nn honest, straight-forward man, industrious, and during his stay in Huron made a great many friends. His loss is deeply regretted by 'all. He leaves a wife and oue daughter. The assistant United States district attor ney, Mr. Murphy is in the city, and with Mr. Thomas M. James, is engaged in investigat ing a case of fraud and perjury alleged t< have been committed in the United States land office at Huron. The Investigation came to a focus to-day when J. B. Weeks was arrested and brought before United States Commissioner Taylor. Weeks is charged with having filed fraudulent soldiers declaratories and making oath that lie had no interest in them. It is alleged that he bought the declaratories and had ;i relinquish ment of the entry signed in blank before lie filed the same. The hearing was postponed until July 85th, at which time the evidence against him will be produced. At present he is out ou $'2,000 bail. The first threshing reported in this vicinity wns done by C'orulek >!c Crippen fur John Spong, who lives about three miles south ol Huron. The crop was barley, and the yield from ten and one-fourth acres was 848 bush els. The grain was much injured by tin hail while it was in the shock. It was esti mated by those who thresed that if the yrain had not been injured by the hail in would have yielded about thirty-live bushels to the acre. The barley is very line. Mr. Spong lost the balance of his crops by the storms. II, •.,,.■>- T.,1..
